Here are some Andrea Mendez's pencil drawings she have done lately, inspired by photographs and then modified to her criteria. This is part of her personal work and practice as well, looking for some change in her usual style. The cat girl was also used to submit on a cat fanzine.

I was looking for some change in my creation style and methods and was inspired by the work of some other artist who draw only with graphite, so I tried to add that material into my own work and these drawings were the result.

I used a pencil and some normal drawing paper, then I scanned them and edited the contrast between blacks and whites. On one of them I did add some other digital details after, drawing cat ears and the cat shirt.

I was pretty shocked to see the amount of feedback I got for this work on Behance, it was very big in comparison to my other work and I got some new followers from around the world, which was very exciting. I didn't expect this when I decided to upload my work.

What I learned was that one should experiment with different media and styles, sometimes you will have better results than other times and that is fine.
